Great entry! Really nice concept and theme implementation. Great art style and aesthetic too.
Only constructive feedback is that perhaps the game window is too 'busy'? Maybe tone down the effects around the edge of the screen? Perhaps reduce the contrast of the background relative to the dropped items. Or give the dropped items an outline to differentiate them from the background?
These are minor nitpicks though, the game is excellent, well done and good luck in the rest of the jam!
You're spot on with your feedback too. The button randomization was a bit of a blunder on my part. Thought it would make it more fun but instead I think it's more of a detriment to the game. Hope you had fun any way.
Difficulty in a gameJam is always a hard thing to get right, I definitely didn't get it quite right this time. Something I need to continue to work at for sure.
Appreciate the feedback, and good luck in the jam!
This looks great! Really cool animations and good use of sound.
My issue is that I'm colour blind so I wasn't really able to progress much. Maybe if you chose only colours that are very different from each other it would have been a bit more doable for me. I won't let this affect the rating though.
Really polished entry, good theme implementation. All in all well done!
It does get a bit hard after a while, seems like there are too many meteors to keep up with. Maybe that's necessary to keep it interesting or maybe I'm just bad!
I also really liked the sound effects, good job on those.
You have a lot of systems here, menus, dialogue, leaderboards.. woah! A lot of work for 2 weeks, great job!
I do think the camera could have used a bit of tweaking, notably when you reach certain height levels there's an abrupt lerp that doesn't feel quite right.
Main character is a cutie! Good job on your entry!
I will say that it's way too hard though, not sure which of the difficulties denotes 'easy' but no matter which I choose I can't go for more than a few seconds.
I do like the pixel art style and you've obviously put some good effort into the UI.
Well done and I wish you well for the rest of the jam.
Hahah!! Loved it, art style really fits the wacky gameplay too. Maybe a bit too hard for me, but that probably just adds to the appeal. Also, really nice unicycle animations, well played.
At first I was confused, but when I started writing my own news stories I was doubled over with laughter. Hearing the news anchor talk about the 'tasty splash of a poo falling into the toilet' was just too funny. Accompanied by irrelevant stock photos just made the experience even more amusing.
Not sure if i played as intended, bu I loved this game.
Took me a try or two to figure out what I was supposed to do but after that was very enjoyable. Maybe the UI could have used some work to make this clearer.
Really interesting concept though, well done for coming up with this!
I'm not really a fan of platformers, but I think this fits the theme pretty well and shows a lot of hard work and effort to make a game relevant for the jam.
I also had the jump bug so I couldn't play the actual levels (tested on both firefox and chrome). However this is such a cool concept and everything else is so well executed that I can't hold it against you or the entry at all.
Animations are super juicy, the lens effect on the spectacles is incredibly well implemented. Also the music fits really well with the rest of the aesthetic.
Great job on this one and good luck for the rest of the jam!
Really great entry! Fits the theme really well and looks nice too.
Only nitpick would be the camera animations, losing control of the camera when the player clicks a build plot could maybe have been removed. But then again it brings us in close to enjoy the build animations themselves!
I loved the story parts, (voice acting was great!), well paced and very funny. The game itself was really enjoyable and hints were given when I got stuck (thank you!..).
Also I love the music track that plays throughout the game, caught myself head bobbing while thinking of words.
Was really pleasantly surprised by how fun to play this was. The artwork was compelling and the audio and visual feedback on the attack was juicy enough to keep me engaged.
Happy to say I played through to the end and enjoyed very much!
Loved the character animations as well as the other art. Sounds complemented rest of game well and game fits the theme perfectly. Really nice concept.
I really enjoyed this entry, one of my favourites of the jam thus far!
Original intention was for the villager to drop the resource they're carrying / stop current job and idle in pain for a few seconds but I thought that might be a bit too sadistic (i.e. didn't have time to implement).
